New year's eve in Rio de Janeiro
A wonderful night
The highlight of New Year's Eve in Rio is the spectacular firework display
on the Copacabana Beach. Seeing 2,000,000 people all dressed in white
along the beach, which is filled with candles, is unforgettable. Many
'cariocas' also make floral offerings to Yemanja, the goddess of the
sea.
Light,
colour and music. A giant beach party celebrates the turn of the year,
when Rio in all the splendour of its summer high season becomes one
of the most enchanting spots in the world.
Christmas
festivities stretch through to Twelfth Night, featuring a wide variety
of shows and parties. Hotel facades and streets form a gaily-decorated
backdrop to open-air events that change from summer to summer, in step
with the vibrant Rio lifestyle.
Hope and wishes
New Year's Eve is the high spot, an explosion of gaiety and hope spiced
with Afro beach rituals. Thousands of people welcome New Year on the
beach, tossing flowers into the waves that carry their wishes for the
future, while greeting the New Year with a massive midnight fireworks
display.
An unforgettable spectacle that lights up the twelve months ahead.
